About Contouring
If you’re unhappy with the way your teeth look, one of your options if dental contouring. This cosmetic dentistry treatment is one that removes small amounts of tissue. This becomes particularly important for patients who are having problems with teeth that are too long or too wide. It’s also a simple way to reshape teeth when a tooth is too pointed or when it protrudes in particular locations, leading to awkward tooth shape. You may use contouring on its own or with bonding.
Relying On Bonding
Dental bonding is the cosmetic dentistry treatment that allows you to make it look as though you have more tissue than your teeth really have. You may wish to rely on bonding if your tooth is too narrow or short. This treatment also lets you fill in chips and address areas that cause teeth to appear deficient in tissue, resulting in an awkward finish. Remember, you may combine bonding and contouring for a beautiful shape to each tooth.
Choosing Veneers
When you’re dealing with tooth shape problems and you’re interested in making additional changes (or you’re also dealing with serious esthetic damage), you may want to choose veneers. You can completely customize your grin, addressing tooth shape and more.
